CATCHING TERKAPIN.
Fishing Out Of Season Rapidly De
strOying the supply.

Fishing Out OF Season Rapidly De-
stroying the supply.
Great numbers of terrapin are taken
every year along the Georgia coast, and
the industry within the past few years
has become very profitable. The law in
this State permits the catching of terra
pm between May and Sept. l. The fisher
men begin gathering the reptiles as soon
as the warm weather sets IN and take
them during the entire laying season, by
which the supply is being rapidly
destroyed. DR.. l.. A. Falligant, who mas
given the matter considerable attention,
says that the closed season ought to be be-
tween March l and July ID, during
which time all terrapln fishing ought
to be prohibited and the law
strictly enforced. BY the middle of July
the laying season is about over. DR..
Falllgant's idea is that severe penalties
should be attached TO a violation of the
law, and that persons having In their
possession more than one zen terra
pima few being caught when crawling
along the river banks by residents for
home use--shOuld be punished. The eX-
tent to which the present existing law is
being violated suggests vigorous effort
TO secure its enforcement and the pas
sage of a new law or large and profit
able coast industry will be speedily de-

ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD.
Talk of Reviving the Atlanta Air
Lines Charter.

Talk of Reviving the Atlanta Air
Lines Charter.
There is a decided stir in railroad mat
ters IN this city and 1t is very freely sta.
ted that the prospect Of one or more rail-
roads from Savannah to the interior is a
certainty. There are in addition to the
charters of the Savannah, Dublin and
Western 10 Macon, and the Savannah
and Western to Eastman or some other
point on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad several other unex-
pired charters Of railroads, among them
the Savannah and Atlanta Air Line. 1t
is not known who controls the latter
cnarter, but IT is stated that il was sold
some years ago to parties in this city
then interested in the Central railroad.
1t is not beyond the PROBABILITIES that
under that charter or some other there is
prospect of a road being built in which
there Will he large amount of Savannah
capital invested. There is plenty
OF money in the city seeking investment,
and all that is needed, it is said, to get 1t
for a new railroad is for the right men to
take the lead.
1t is very apparent from what is going
on that tnere are two distinct sets Of men
interested in building railroads out of
Savannah, and II everything goes right
with them there will be two railroads
built.

BAD DAY FOR FOOLS.
Practical Jokers Have a Rough
Time OF Ii Out OF Doors.


IAN April Hood carries away the frog
and his brood" is an old saying.
April came In this year with a burrah,
and If there is any OF the frog species lett
they will have Il rough time OF it. The
weather yesterday was anything but
springlike. Proverbial wisdom, on the
whole, however, takes very kindly view
Of the flower produclng month. 1t even as
serts that"A cold April the barn will till,"
and capri showers make May flowers"
Nor is there any harm Ia wind:
"When April blows his horn
It's good Tor both hay and corn"
The poets have had a good deal to say
about April, but 1t is pretty safe to con-
clude that it was, not said on such days
as yesterday. A cold, disagreeable rain
fell during the most of the day.
The smart jokers who never tire OF
mailing nickels to the sidewalks and
perching in the windows to see the I'M
warned pedestrian muddy his fingers
trying TO pick it up and finally give it up
because the nickel is nailed fast, didn't
have as much fun as they usually
imagine they 80 on April fools day. There
were not many people on the streets and
those that were did not stop TO bother
with any First OF April nonsense. The
youngsters at home had their usual
amount Of innocent fun though, and cot
ton stuffed biscuits and soap caramels
we're eaten with tue usual relish by the
unsuspicIOus victims who didn't
know better. Empty pocket-books
lying in front OF screened stOOps
with small boy at the other end OF a
string, and innocent looking packages
with brick inside dropped on the street
crossings for passers to pick up and car
ry tenderiy home were all over the city.
The First of April, of all days in the
year, enjoys a character of It's own tor
practical joking and probably always
Will. The out-Of-doOr jOkers had hard

with having traudulently obtained. The
matter was not settled, however, aud
